Although council voted to agree with the Oxford resolution, eight councillors voted against the move. One of the dissenters was Reeve Jack Alexander, Winghem, who stated that he used studded tires, considered them to be a safety measure and added that the cost of repairing damage to roads allegedly caused by the studded tires was small in comparison to the number of lives that could be saved by permitting studded tires to be used. County engineer Jim Britnell, however, reported that in three years of use in Ontario, it has been estimated that studded tires have caused about $8,000,000 worth of damage to road surfaces, As well, since the studded tires were blamed for removing the white lines which mark the lanes in the highways, studded tires could be considered a hazard to safe driving. County council also agreed to support in principal a resolution from the town of Goderich petitioning the provincial government to immediately consider the feasibility of providing adequate four-lane highway linkage in the Huron-Perth area to Highway 401 but to reserve full concurrence until the Georgian Bay - Lake Huron Area Study report has been made public and is studied. Huron will also support a resolution from the county of Lambton recommending amendments to the Expropriation Act 1968-69. It was also learned that the county road committee is now in the process of inspecting the 340 mile county road system along with the road and bridge priorities contained in the 1969 Needs Study. The committee proposes to submit a long range construction plan just as soon as possible. It is hoped the Needs Study will be available to county council at the June session. 515 "The 2549 Line" BALER TWINE Spot Cash B Carry Off The DockToYou Hensall resident dies suddenly Paul Boa, RR 1, Hensel!, a well known district resident, died suddenly at his home Monday May 4.

Huron Crop Report Warm weather and adequate soil moisture conditions occurred through Huron County last week. The seeding of spring cereals progressed rapidly and a few fields of early seeded barley have emerged. Ploughing, discing, and spreading fertilizer on corn land began last week. Established hay fields and new seedlings are beginning to show signs of growth. Fall wheat is beginning to grow vigorously. "chain-reaction" in other committees Of county council which Might also wish to send an entire committee to a convention at the expense of the county. Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle Said Reeve Hayter had "stolen my thunder" but that he was very pleased that he had done SQ. Boyle, known in council for his distaste for conventions and other social affairs at the expense of the county taxpayers, said that one or two representatives to the convention could bring back an adequate report, Harry Worsell, the reeve of Goderich, spoke in favor of the entire committee attending the convention. He said their presence in Montreal would be "good advertisement for Huron County". He also mentioned a firm in Goderich, Dominion Roads and Machinery, which would be bolstered by a good representation from Huron County government. Hensel' Reeve Oliver Jaques reminded Worsell that Dominion Roads and Machinery would very likely be spending a considerable sum tp promote their own interests and that the county taxpayers should have no obligation in that regard. He suggested that if the Canadian Good Roads convention was such a good thing, perhaps all of county council should attend. The Reeve of Zurich, Gordon Hess learned that the road committee attends the Ontario Good Roads Convention and that the reason such large representation was proposed to the Canadian Good Roads convention was because the World Good Roads Convention was being held in conjunction with the Montreal event. It is the first time that a World Good Roads convention has been held in Canada (last year it was staged in Spain) and since it was so close to Huron County, decision had been reached to send as many delegates as county council would permit. Chairman of the road committee, Elgin Thompson, Reeve of Tuckersmith, said he was not in favor of sending seven • a • a a • a n n n a Christians do not recognize their obligation to Christ. Too many Christians merely acquire Christian habits and activities but they don't believe that Jesus is Lord and Saviour. Mr. Carson then went on to point out that we not only have to learn to be like God but we also have to learn to work with one another. He cited Black Power, as an example of how people misuse their position to distort, confuse and eventually overthrow democratic authority. Rev. Carson went on to point out that we in Canada have `Power Blocks' arising who would destroy our democratic, Christian way of life. The thing Christians must do is recognize that Power belongeth to God not to man. Next Sunday the Service of Holy Communion will be celebrated at 12:45 P.M. in St. James Church. . • : : • : • : .

The mill rate will be 20.75 comprised of 10.75 for the general account and 10 mills for the highway account. It represents a reduction from the year 1969 of 1.5 mills. The reason for the reduction, according to John Berry, is due in part to the fact that the county is no longer responsible for assessment. As well, a debenture issue on Huronview at Clinton has been retired, and the building program in connection with the administrative building has been completed and is fully paid. Expenditure for all county purposes in 1970 will be $3,679,526. Offsetting revenue totals $3,856,668 or in other words, there will be an estimated surplus of $177,142 for the year 1970. The working capital reserve fund has been increased from $50,000 to $100,000 by allocating $50,000 in 1970. This money is used for current financing and with these funds available the borrowing requirements are considerably reduced. A second reserve has been allocated in the budget in the amount of $25,000. This will be used to establish money to offset the present sick leave liability which has been incurred by the county over the past number of years and at the present time totals $113,693, and for a fund to be used in the event of long term illness of an employee. "I can see no reason at the present time for any increase in the mill rate in 1971 unless some unexpected capital expenditures are incurred," stated Berry. "I believe the time has come when each committee must be restricted to the amount of increase that is going to be permitted by county council each year," the clerk went on to say. "In some areas there is no need for any increase in funds. In other areas a modest increase can be expected due to continuing rise in costs of supplies and services. I feel that in practically every department the very maximum increase that should be tolerated would be between five and ten per cent. It looks as though the county road department will be spending about $1,656,000 on roads and bridges in Huron CoUnty` 'this year but since the Ontario Department of Highways has not yet indicated the amount it is prepared to subsidize the program, it was impossible for the road committee to prepare a detailed budget in time for Thursday's meeting. County funds required to finance this proposed budget however, have been estimated at $726,700. Ten mills on equalized assessment will raise $726,765.92. PERSONALS Mrs. Mervin Williams returned home after spending some time with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. & Mrs. Edna Arnold, London where she recuperated after leaving the hospital. The North West Regional Rally of the Middlesex Presbyterial United Church Women met at Brinsley United Church and several Clandeboye U.C.W. members attended the evening meeting. Mrs. Joan Boggs and Mrs. Harry Murless spent Monday in Toronto. Mr. & Mrs. Clarence Milison moved Saturday to Number 1, on McGillivray side, across from Carter's store. Mr. & Mrs. Earl Morgan and family entertained Mr. Morgan's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Maurice Morgan, to a turkey supper Sunday evening. Mr. & Mrs. Clare Paton, Jimmy and Darlene visited Mrs. J.H. Paton and Wm. Allwright Friday afternoon. Mr. & Mrs. Barry Menary and family moved from Clandeboye to RR 2, Ailsa Craig. Out would come the illicit hot plate, and the forbidden frying pan. The spryest, usually I, would whack up a great, reeking feed. And with one lamp, carefully screened, we'd play poker until 4 a.m. No wonder they had trouble rousing us at five for our morning wash. If it was a special occasion, maybe a birthday, we'd chip in and buy a mickey. Oh, yes. We had a bootlegger who was also a bookmaker — among the patients. He was tubercular and also diabetic, dying on his feet, but he staggered around the wards each day, taking bets and orders. You'd be surprised how far a mickey goes among four T.B. cases, when they haven't had anything stronger than milk for a month. Like most of life, it wasn't all bad. A Salute to MOT HERS But I shook down into life at the San, and as always in retrospect, remember mostly the good things, and the funny things. I began a writing course, and won a prize. I wrote scripts for the San radio station. I played chess for hours a day with the guy in the next bed and became a tolerable, though erratic, player. Most of us were young veterans, and we had a certain esprit de corps, which meant beating the establishment. For example, the food was nourishing, but lousy, like all institution food. One chap had a wife who smuggled in bacon and eggs and onions. Every night, about an hour after the nurses had snuggled us down, and while the night nurse smoked and drank coffee, the action would begin. DEBATE TRIP 'hie major bone of contention in the road report was a recommendation that the warden, the 1970 road committee and the engineer Jim Britnell be authorised to attend the Canadian Good Roads Association annual convention in Montreal October 5 to 8; Stephen Reeve James Hayter questioned the necessity for seven persons to attend the convention. He predicted a Several tour area hospital Several hundred persons toured the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital when the institution held open house Sunday. The hospital was opened in 1962 and has had 3,000 patients since that time. It has 230 patients at present, plus 300 out-patients. Features of the hospital include workshops for the manufacture of soft toys such as stuffed animals, woodworking, refinishing and upholstery shops and a car wash. Dr. Michael Conlon is superintendent of the hospital. The staff of 270 includes three psychiatrists and three doctor consultants. Twenty are enrolled in the registered nursing assistants' course conducted at the hospital. The hospital serves the counties of Huron, Perth and parts of Bruce, Middlesex, Lambton and Oxford, Contracts Now Available For WHITE BEANS WE CAN FILL YOUR NEEDS FOR: * CIL Fertilizers Analysis to meet your requirements * Weed Sprays leor All crops Eptam and Pat "ran The proven weed killers in White Beans SEED CORN ALSO AVAILABLE W.G. Thompson and Sons Limited • NSALL 262-2527 A Whisper Never Carries The Same impact As A DOMINANT SPACE MEANS INCREASED READERSHIP Went for a chest X-ray today and had quite a reminisce with the doctor who examined me. It turned out that he was the second-in-command at a sanatorium where I spent one of the most dreary years of my life. He's retired now and does this work as a part-time thing. He told me I wouldn't believe what has happened to the San. When I was there, it held about 1,500 patients. It now has 300. Average length of stay then was 18 months. Today it is three months, T.B. wasn't a comparatively simple thing when I was there. Three people died in three months in one ward I was in, because their lungs were so rotten they couldn't breathe. Two of them were in their 20s. The tensions, frustrations and monotony of life in a sanatorium have been described often enough. It was like being in jail, except you couldn't walk around. And always, hovering in the air, like a couple of vultures, were two things: Surgery and your "culture." Surgery meant hacking out most of your ribs on one side, to collapse a lung that was too far gone, or removal of the lung. If your "culture", a sputum test, broke down within, 12 weeks you had another three or six months added to your sentence, I was lucky. All I had was a shadow on my lung. I felt fine. I never had a "positive" result from tests, and I couldn't even muster enough sputum for a culture. But it still wasn't Much fun. Perhaps I acclimatized better than most. I'd had a year in prison camp, not too long before — good training for life in the San. I had learned that time does pass, however snail-like, in such circumstances, But I was dreadfully lonely at first and pretty resentful toward the gods. I had been married Six weeks when the shadow on the lung was discovered. About a week later, something else was discovered. My wife was pregnant. We were about 200 miles apart with no money for train trips to visit, Thie was the worst period. How times change, Nowadays my wife thinks nothing of spending $10 on a long-distance call to one of the kids, fOr no particular reason. In those days, I was on full pension. I think it was $55 a month, And the government kept back $15 of it to help pay for my keep. So it was letters, one a day, There's still a bushel basket of them in the :attic full of purple prose', what Weld tell the baby, and etuff, I feel like An old fool when I read then( now, and my wife weeps and wonders why I don't Write poems and gooey stuff to ta,.hr nowadays.
